I need a plug-in that simply adds and spawns a Green bot. Can anyone help?
The idea is you have to make your way through lasers to the box in the middle, where the green flag is located. Then back to cap.

this is not possible in 2.0.x, as bots are clients that join and have code to run them. Plugins are server side logic. The server can not add players in 2.0.x.

There is a server side player API being made for 3.0. It is partly complete.

Darn...thanks for the help anyway.
Any idea how to just put a bot on a server and leave it? If I can just get a permanent bot then I'm good. For instance: the bot in The Ring by pacman87 ("pseudonym").

run a client and have it connect in autopilot mode

if you can build bzflag from source you should search for teppics bot patch in the forums. Will need some modification for 2.0.10 but it is easy enough to do. It even works on no-bot servers.
